Board of Advisors

Igor Artamanov (Splix)

Head of ETCDEV. Has been involved in ETC since our very first block after Ethereum forked. In the early days he was crucial to ETC’s survival and today is helping us thrive through his leadership at ETCDEV. ETCDEV is bringing many improvements to the ETC network including Sidechains and an excellent framework for developers. Examples of their work can be seen in Emerald Wallet, and ETC Geth which now has many improvements that Ethereum Geth lacks.

Charles Hoskinson

Helped found Ethereum and later found his way to ETC. He’s been one of our strongest proponents since the start, frequently advocating for ETC whenever he finds himself with a microphone and an audience. On the more practical side he has dedicated developers and resources to ETC through his company IOHK. IOHK has created new software for ETC in the form of Mantis (node software) and Daedulus integration (moving ETC into the de facto Cardano wallet).

Elaine Ou

Blockchain Engineer at Global Financial Access, a fintech company in San Francisco, and an advisor to the ETCDEV team. She can be found alternating between being brutally honest on Twitter and working on her ETC projects (EtherHub, and TokenMint). Her no-nonsense approach will certainly make her an important asset to the BoA.

Barry Silbert

CEO of Digital Currency Group and one of ETC’s earliest proponents, most recently established the ECC. Barry is also the CEO of Grayscale Investments, the sponsor of the Ethereum Classic Investment Trust. Ideologically aligned with ETC, he has taken a very hands-off approach which has helped ETC to grow organically with its own direction.

James Wo

A long time fan of ETC and is heavily involved in the blockchain space through his company Digital Finance Group. Based in Shanghai, China, DFG is a diversified business group that focuses on investing in and developing blockchain technologies and digital assets. Its business segments consist of angel investments, venture capital, private equity, strategic investments, mergers and acquisitions.
